I use the BD bootable AV CD all the time and would put that at the top of the list. It supports far more graphics cards than any other and has caught some very wiley and rare ones. But haven't used the program.

I didn't know they offered a bootable AV CD. I'll have to check that out.

That's interesting. AV-Comparatives.org tends to rank BitDefender at the top of the list.

Generally speaking, BitDefender does well in Virus Bulletin's testing as well. I haven't played with it in a while, so my info may be outdated, but the last time I looked at BitDefender the interface was awkward, and it popped up too many useless activity messages. That wouldn't hurt it in effectiveness-based testing, but I bet it would in Consumer Reports evaluations.
